Default Lubrication Engineers- Duolec LE- what number?

Here is the spec sheet - http://www.le-inc.com/productGrid.jsp
Go down part way and hit the link for - Duolec® Vari-Purpose Gear Lubricants (1601-1609)
You will then get a PDF spec sheet, see page 2
I forgot to look at the label of my old container and would like to order a couple quarts today and can't recall what number
All I recall is the weight debate that has taken place over what's the best number to use

Thanks

SAE 110 1605 is the one you want.

Yup, thanks
I was not able to order yesterday and when I got home, sure enough, it's a LE1605 in my cupboard, with purple finger prints all over it

Need...



Have called my contact in Hilton, might be a nice VFR ride up there on Thursday, when I'm on vacation

And I picked up a nice tip on here, take the new bottle and put it in a bucket of hot water a good 15 minutes before trying to pump it up into the diff. The water warms it up and makes it a tad thinner and easy to push through the hand pump. Clever.

We don't have that problem here in Texas!

Just leave it out in the sun while you're draining the old fluid.
